Paper Towels

I opened a package of Bounty select a size paper towels today, knew immediately they were slightly different from previous ones. These sheets are 1/4" narrower in size than the older version. They downsized each sheet of Charmin toilet paper last year, I should have expected the paper towels would be next. Price is the same of course.

Charmin and Bounty are both Procter & Gamble products. The narrowing of width in the toilet paper rolls caused them to flop around in the dispenser but with the towels, they have narrowed them by shortening the width of each dispensed towel, in other words, in the opposite direction in order for them not to fall out of older mounted dispensers. The newer towels have a different "quilting" design than the older ones. Manufacturer's message on them is printed in English, Spanish, and French. Although it says made in the U.S.A, it also states of domestic and imported materials.
